btw, you might want to look up the origin of the word "Easter"...



And what connection the resurection of Jesus Christ has with rabbits
hiding
colored chicken eggs has.

And why no holiday for "Wester", "Norther", and "Souther" :-)

And why kids get dressed up in costumes and ask neighbors for candy on
Halloween. A Chinese friend once asked me about that, all I could say
was that it was an ancient tradition that nobody knows where it came from
or why it was done.


Halloween is a run together form of "All Hallow's Eve, meaning "All Saint's
Eve." It is the night before All Hallow's Day, which is a religious holy
day to honor saints that do not have specific days set aside for them. The
belief used to be that on the night before All Hallow's Day that the Devil's
minions would roam the earth. If one dressed up like ghosts, devils, and
goblins, etc, one would be protected from these creatures (it appears to
have entered Christianity from some pagan religion). Now to prevent these
evil creatures from harming them, ordinary people would give them gifts
(food, candy, etc). Therefore the people who were disguised as these
creatures also needed to do the same so that the devil's minions would not
be able to penetrate their disguises. If a person did not appease the
demons, the demons would play tricks on them. And thus the disguised people
also needed to do the same if the did not receive a treat in order to
maintain their disguise.

I've looked all through Part 97...and ALL volumes of Title 47 C.F.R.
and there is NOTHING applicable to Halloween, Christianity,
Christmas, New Years Day, or anything else in your post.

Here there be demons, of course, but the above has NOTHING to
do with ham radio or even amateur radio.

What dictionary are you using?

What alternate reality are you living in?
